Re: Colts-Texans

And lost, despite being 5 point favorites and generally respected as the most dominant team in the league.

And don't forget every other season where the practice of resting starters proved nothing but the opposite.

I don't mind resting starters in a blowout... or for a second half of a meaningless game. But having them not dress is just bad mojo, imo. Let them get out there and get a half of reps in and keep that machine oiled.

Funny thing is with my expectations of the Colts getting beat this week I'll be paying as much attention to the score ticker for the Bengals and Jets games. Priority is the Colts getting in and the Colts not having to face the Patriots in the wildcard.

If they wind up facing the Ravens then there is some secret mojo going on.

You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....

So we won two playoff games and then lost the Super Bowl because we sat starters in Week 17? Lol ok.

I don't think Dungy was the greatest motivator and I'm not sure Caldwell was even a real coach so THOSE team taking games off was always a mistake IMHO. This team? Dunno... I don't think this team could be doing what it's doing without some supreme motivation. Whether that is coaching or internal I don't know.

Nuntius was right. I was wrong. Frank Vogel has retained his job.

Re: Colts-Texans

On that completion for the first down Freeney was being held, then he got pushed off and had another chance to get to Schaub and then got held again. They held him twice on one play, let it go both times and Houston got a critical completion out of it. Nice to see some things never change.
